YLD Subgrant Program

Subgrants are awarded annually by the American Bar Association Young Lawyers Division (YLD), with support from the ABA Fund for Justice and Education. The program is designed to promote quality projects developed by affiliated young lawyer organizations and to assist in the success of the program by providing support through program funding for the following two categories:

Public Service Project

Bar Leadership/Membership Service Project

Public Service Awards will not exceed $1,000 per subgrant and Member Service Awards will not exceed $500 per subgrant.

Additionally, priority will be given to projects that provide law-related service to the public, which help meet an otherwise unmet need.

Application Deadline

Applications must be received by March 1 of each year.

Eligibility

Any Young Lawyer Organization affiliated with Young Lawyers Division (Affiliate) under Articles 3.1 (a) or 3.1 (b) of the YLD Bylaws is eligible. There is no limit to the number of applications an Affiliate can submit. Each subgrant is valid for a one year time period.
